maybelline colorstay lipcolor
ok, so i have decided that i must just put it out there that this is a GREAT product. the other day i was at target and i went a little crazy in the makeup aisles. i managed to hold back on the eye shadows b/c i know that the fact of the matter is that i already own every shade of eye shadow i would ever buy, even tho i don't wear any of them just about ever.
but i feel like those make more sense to buy lipsticks because maybe if you find some that work well, you can use them and mix it up a bit. like i have a few lipglosses that i do use and i love them. but they only stay on for like 2 minutes. so i decided that i would venture into long-lasting lipcolor. i have bought a couple in the past, but they leave this really terrible feeling on your lips that i can't describe and the other thing is that you can just never tell if a color is going to be right until after you have already bought it. so i bought two shades of maybelline's colorstay. i wore the "raspberry" to bar review last night and i'm still not totally sure i'm sold on the color (it looks like you're wearing lipstick and i still have to get used to that idea), but it was still noticeably present at about 4pm this afternoon. which is like 16 hours after i put it on. which is pretty impressive. oh, and it doesn't leave that gross texture on your lips, like the other ones do. the other shade i bought is "heather" and it is perfect. i put it on at about 6pm today before running out to the grocery store. it's just a bit of color, but it brightens and defines your lips and well i think it is quite lovely. and since that time i have eaten dinner and a few other assorted things, and had plenty of glasses of water and of diet coke, and i still have lipstick on. so it truly is long-lasting. it's amazing really.
ok, sorry for this post. yes, it is ridiculously silly and self-indulgent and nearly pointless. but if you are looking for a great long-lasting lipcolor, i heartily endorse this one. we'll see if i ever actually wear them, or if they just sit in a drawer with the other 15 other lipsticks i have but never wear.
[UPDATE 01/04/07: since i get about a hit a day for this product, i thought i would add that after a bit, the lipstick started to kind of glob up on your lips in clumps. it is very weird and i can't really describe it, but it pretty much makes the product useless. maybe this is just something with mine, but i figured that since a number of people might actually be using my word on this in their purchasing decision, i should update for full disclosure that mine didn't seem to hold up over time.]

max factor its better
i put a little bit on the back of my hand, and it stayed for 3 days! (and i wash my hands / do dishes a lot!) this makes me nervous to actually wear it, but the colour does look good... you have to buy another product, a lip colour remover to remove it, which is a bit of a turn off for me..
Those little globs are dry skin. it always helps to exfoliate a bit before you put it on and moisturize after you take it off. It comes off with baby oil.
You can use regular lipstick to take it off, just coat and wipe-off. I love this stuff.
